Very nice, I am going to tear down the one that I am replacing on my Durango, same compressor however the Durango hose connections are on the top. The compressor that I have now is cooling and pressures are good as per a 134A chart, and it is properly charged, but it has a tremendous rattling noise in idle, it sounds like an old Diesel truck. I think it may be a reed valve. Thank you for your video, it will help me to work on mine.
Yes do it .. a two minute or Less I play on loop A swashplate, also known as slant disk, was invented by Anthony Michell in 1917. ... It is a mechanical engineering device used to translate the motion ...
I am interested in any of these compressors that you know of that have 4, 8, 14, or 16 cylinders. I have an idea but dont have money to buy a bunch and tear them down. Any you know of? Thanks for the video anyway if not. I know now that 3 cylinders are not the only ones.
Sorry I don't know of any offhand. Why doesn't 6 work? What kind of project do you have at hand? Definitely some pretty neat things you could do with these
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow I need a 1/4 off set on pistons at tdc. A4 cylinder would be perfect but any arangment of multiple compressors adding up to a multiple of 4 would work. 6 would work but 2 compressors would need to be connected in synchronous to achieve the 1/4 off set.
@@chasthanhburns123 oops, I thought this was a 6 cylinder. After looking back at the video I see it was a 7 cylinder. Made this a while back. Unfortunately I don't really know of any other cylinder arrangements for these. Good luck and let me know if you end up finding one
There's an Italian (I think) guy by the name of Alberto Orzi on here, that makes engines out of AC compressors. Check him out. He has one made from a 7 cylinder that's a real screamer.
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow - they make great little novelty engines, and sound amazing. Not good for much outside of bench top novelties though. #1- The cylinder arrangement doesn't allow any way of providing good thermal management, so they won't tolerate long run times or any considerable load for any length of time. Beyond that, the cylinder materials and piston designs are poor for an engine. #2- They're designed to work in a comparatively low temperature range, and with significantly more oil flow than combustion engines. The oil bypass doesn't matter in an AC system, because it's sealed. In a combustion engine, it flies out of the exhaust as smoke. Alberto is the only one I've seen who can build one to run cleanly... but they still have limited duty cycle from poor cooling. His best design uses a centrifugal supercharger (miniature version of the Paxton charger used on old Studebakers), and central porting. They only smoke at idle, and not very much. The centrifugal force of the spinning engine keeps the oil toward the outer cylinder walls, away from the ports, and where the pistons need it most.
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow - nevermind. I just checked his channel. The engine videos were deleted. Here's a link to a video of his 7 cylinder on his Facebook page: m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=647512618675196&id=100002493916896
That doesn't really take way the complexity. Even if you only had on cylinder, the unit would need to be the same size as it still needs to cover all 360° so it only makes sense to add additional cylinders by replicating the first. In fact, if there was only one cylinder you would only get a fraction (in this case 1/7) of the compression. So for the same compression, you would need a bigger cylinder and therefore, a larger compressor unit. If you don't like the complexity, scroll compressors are still just as accessable.

Imagine how an engineer came up with this peice..amazing ...what year was did they first put these in a car?.
excellent knowledge
I agree. I could watch that all day. too cool.
2:33 all day
Yes do it .. a two minute

Torpedo engine hydrogen peroxide sugar
Run it backwards..
Rankine cycle reverse
Freon engine
Is this close to one on a 2015 dodge Charger? I think Mine locked up? WTH? 32k miles.
I'm not sure off hand. It depends what type of compressor you have. Probably a different design than this
Any idea why my compressor has a knocking sound coming from it?
Probably has some internal damage or maybe a piston came off the rod or something

I think you could convert it to pneumatic motor!

12 not 14, sorry.

You know a model that runs on 6 cylinders?

Great tear-down thanks
Thanks! I appreciate that. First commenter!

Awesome! I'll have to look that up. Great idea for sure. They are well-built units

I HATE THESE THINGS. COMPLEXITY IS NOT THE ANSWER. MAKE IT SINGLE CYLINDER.
